The probing skills look to be getting hit HARD with the nerf bat. Astrometric Rangefinding's (you know, the rank 8 skill) effective bonus is being HALVED! 27+ days of training to get it to level 5, and it is being bent over and raped by the nerf bat. Sucks for people that trained it.

*shrug* I'm currently training Rangefinding V, and I will continue to train it. Why?

Being able to scan a sig down faster/in fewer attempts still provides additional value beyond simply being able to pinpoint it at all.

That's why. The value of the support skills may be getting reduced, but they still have value.

I have it at 5.

My major takeaway from this is that, since I also have astrometrics at 5, my probe strength bonus from skills is going from 1.5 to 1.5625 (1.25^2).

This is, indeed, pretty terrible for me.

I don't know how I'll find the strength to go on.

Why do you want skill reimbursement?
The skill is still useful, it will still exist (with the same multiplier), it will still have benefit in that it boosts your scanning ability, increasing strength, reducing time and deviation.


Because people who have trained it have invested 3x more SP in the skills. This training time loss should be compensated..



NO !

skill reimbursement is only for when skills are being REMOVED from characters.

so try to stop being a total greedy emo moron.

and this is NOT a personal attack its a suggestion.

ITT a bunch of carebears not appreciating competitive advantage. I mean, seriously guys. If you're combat scanning, every fraction of a second is worth even a month+ time of training. And being able to scan quicker is a boon even in pve side of game.

Seriously, someone who trained all scanning skills to V will be off better after this skill. 1.05*1.05 > 1.1 and then you have access to the T2 modules. Lots of crying about getting buffed. People are weird...

I think they are whining about the fact that the undeserving pubies who haven't trained their skills to 5 are getting buffed, and those of us who invested ungodly amounts of time in skill training are going to less uber compared to them. To which personally I don't really care how uber I am. As the overall changes will make my scanning easier, and Lord knows scanning sigs is boring once you've figured it, and done it 50+ times.

Compared to the corn cob CCP pulled on the ninja community when they changed the scanning system this is nothing.

You went from scanning everything down at once and picking where to warp within seconds to our current system.

I'm glad to see they are pulling back on the big nerf to what was once a large part of EVE.

So let's recap this thread now.
